Authenticated code execution via unvalidated upload parameter
Published Jun 2, 2025 · Updated Feb 21, 2026
PHP object deserialization in Roundcube Webmail before 1.5.10 and 1.6.0 through 1.6.10 allows remote authenticated users to execute code. The settings upload action passes an unvalidated _from-derived value toward session handling, allowing crafted serialized data to reach PHP deserialization. A valid Roundcube account and access to the settings upload endpoint are required; successful exploitation runs attacker-controlled code in the web server context.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
- Affected versionversion=0 <1.5.10
- Affected versionversion=1.6.0 <1.6.11
